Book review: Tale of a frozen heart

Posted on June 1, 2021 by Tomas

My next “fresh” read is a return to James Harrington’s Drakin series, with a book that happens between the previously published books. The book stays true to the series but also reads differently…

Book review: Defiant ruin

Posted on May 9, 2021 by Tomas

My Sci-Fi detour ends with the third – and final – book of Marie Andreas’ AsarlaĆ­ wars trilogy, Defiant ruin. And, before you ask, yes, it’s names after a spaceship, as the previous books. Now on to the review…

Posted on April 25, 2021 by Tomas

My Sci-fi detour, started with the Warrior Wench, continues with the second book, Victorious dead. Which keeps the pace of the first book, being an action-packed and fast-paced story.

Book review: Warrior Wench

Posted on April 13, 2021 by Tomas

I’ve made a quick detour from fantasy books, taking up a fast-paced Sci-Fi book that promised lighthearted but serious story. And it worked for me.

Fiction: Best gear against zombies?

Posted on February 23, 2020 by Tomas

In this post, I’ll take a bit different direction than usual: while related to fantasy and possibly Sci-Fi, I’ll try a realistic look at what gear would be useful in case of zombie apocalypse.

Book review: Found in Amber

Posted on January 8, 2020 by Tomas

The sequel to the Sci-Fi romance Lost in Amber (my review) had came out a while ago but I only got to it now. The sequel builds not only on the SF part of the plot but also on the lighthearted writing with many quips and funny moments even when things get dire.
